Two months after six University of Idaho fraternities were burglarized, the four offenders are beginning their individual pleas and sentences. As of Feb. 25, Latah County District Court has published the sentencing for one perpetrator, who will serve community service and probation.
The perpetrators, Grant Abendroth, Traiden Cummings, Aidan Prakash and Silas “Wogayu” Qualls, were caught and arrested on Dec. 21 after fleeing the scene. Though each of the men made an initial court appearance on Dec. 22, the individual pleas and sentences just began with Prakash appearing in court for his hearing on Feb. 18.
According to public state records, Prakash pleaded guilty to unlawful entry as well as petit theft. He was sentenced to 40 hours of mandated community service hours to be completed by June 18, 2026. He will also face a probation period of nearly a year, which will be active between Feb. 18, 2026, and Feb. 17, 2027.
While both Cummings and Qualls were originally set to appear separately on Feb. 25, Cummings’ trial was rescheduled to March 25 for reasons unknown.
The results of Qualls’ trial, which occurred at 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 25, have yet to be released to the public as of Wednesday night. Abendroth’s sentencing is scheduled for March 4.
The stolen items mostly included personal items such as backpacks, jewelry and a cellphone, and items meaningful to the fraternities, such as paddles and framed pictures, according to Moscow Police Department Capt. Dustin Blaker. A framed picture worth $3,000 is listed in court records as among the valuables taken.
All four men are 2025 graduates of Moscow High School, with Abendroth, Prakash and Qualls enrolling in UI after graduation, where they all joined the fraternity Theta Chi. Cummings is not affiliated with the university.
In the wake of the crime, it’s unclear whether Theta Chi has taken action against the three members.
